Fig.S1 the curves of bacterial clones emerged on the different agars at different time points

Fig.S2Phylogenetic tree based on partial sequence of 16S rRNA gene from Actinobacteriaphylum strains was constructed by the neighbor-joining method. Bootstrap values (%) are indicated at the nodes (only greater than 50% were shown). The scale bars represent 0.01 substitutions per site. The tree topology was evaluated with the maximum-likelihood and maximum-parsimony algorithms.

Fig.S3Phylogenetic tree based on partial sequence of 16S rRNA gene from Firmicutes phylum strains was constructed by the neighbor-joining method. Bootstrap values (%) are indicated at the nodes (only greater than 50% were shown). The scale bars represent 0.02 substitutions per site. The tree topology was evaluated with the maximum-likelihood and maximum-parsimony algorithms.

Fig.S4Phylogenetic tree based on partial sequence of 16S rRNA gene from Alphaproteobacteriaorder strains was constructed by the neighbor-joining method. Bootstrap values (%) are indicated at the nodes (only greater than 50% were shown). The scale bars represent 0.01 substitutions per site. The tree topology was evaluated with the maximum-likelihood and maximum-parsimony algorithms

Bootstrap values (%) are indicated at the nodes (only greater than 50% were shown). The scale bars represent 0.01 substitutions per site. The tree topology was evaluated with the maximum-likelihood and maximum-parsimony algorithms.

Fig.S7Phylogenetic tree based on the partial Phenol hydroxylase gene was constructed by the neighbor-joining method. Tree topology was evaluated by bootstrap analysis based on 1000 resampling replicates with the MEGA software package version 5.0. Bootstrap values (%) are indicated at the nodes (only greater than 50% were shown). The scale bars represent 0.02 substitutions per site.All of these strains listed here were type strains, except the strains obtained in this study
